Business Water Procurement & Suppliers

Our Trusted Suppliers

Can Your Business Choose Its Water Supplier?

Yes, in most cases. Since April 2017, businesses and other non-household customers in England have been able to choose their water retailer. Your regional wholesaler still owns the pipes and supplies the water, but the retailer handles your billing, meter readings and customer service, and that is where savings and better service come from.

England: all non-household customers can switch retailer.
Scotland: businesses have been able to choose their retailer since 2008.
Wales: switching is limited to sites using more than 50 megalitres a year.

Business Water Suppliers in Nottingham

We are based in Nottingham, where Severn Trent is the regional wholesaler, and we help local businesses compare water retailers for their sites. We work with businesses across England in the same way, whichever wholesaler serves their area.

What Makes Up a Business Water Bill?

Water supply

Charges for the clean water you use, based on your meter readings, plus a fixed charge linked to meter size.

Wastewater

Charges for taking away and treating used water, usually calculated as a proportion of the water you use.

Surface water drainage

Charges for rainwater draining from your property into the public sewer. If your site drains elsewhere, you may be able to claim a rebate.

Trade effluent

Charges for discharging trade waste, which apply to some manufacturers, food businesses and laundries.
